VM's still selected after vMotion...

Raudi — Sat, 17 Dec 2022 14:06:10 GMT

Hello,

today i had a bad experience in my current vSphere 8.0 environment...

To install the latest patches i was on one host, on the tab with all VM's on that host i selected all running VM's except 3 with local devices.

This VM's i moved with drag/drop to a other host.

After this was finished i selected the 3 other VM's to shutdown the VM's.

But what i missed, at the status line at the bottom of the VM list window, still shows that more than 20 VM's are selected. So i have shutdown manny of the VM's i just moved. Not all, because the vCenter was one of them.

This behavior can't be correct and is very dangerous!

Has someone seen this too? Is this a known issue and on the list to be fixed? Or must i open here a SR? The problem, we have only 5 SR in a year, and it is bad to waste this for bugs...

Regards
Stefan

I noticed this behavior after the 7.0 update 3h update so the behavior exists on 7.0.3 as well.
